But I was hoping for low 5's by the end of the year and a little more accommodating market in unconventional loans for us young guys who can't show enough income (I'm getting quotes at 11.5-14.5%, and exorbitant closing fee).

You can either evict them which may cost up to $3-4k for the eviction process or propose cash for keys where you "incentives" them by paying them money to move out ASAP as a way accommodation for them to move out.

In this market, I do not think they will be able to raise the price to accommodate the 150k by just raising the price if and when I totally bail out.

The idea of having an intentional avatar and customer in mind is critical to almost any business, but supply and demand is just as critical.In my mind, when you are a STR host your avatar and customer is: Somebody traveling to the region where you own a home, who is looking for short term accommodations, who prefers staying in a house over a hotel.If you 'niche down' further than that, I think you're just weeding out potential customers (pun intended lol)

Accessory Dwelling Unit/in-law unit requirements)A: Current planning regulations prohibit any rental of a single-family home, duplex, apartment/condo, live/work unit, or room for less than thirty (30) days, based on the City’s definition of “Permanent Residential Activities”, which are defined as the occupancy of living accommodations on a thirty (30) days or longer basis, with none of the living units under the same ownership or management on the same lot being occupied on a shorter basis.If you are renting your single-family home, duplex, apartment/condo, live/work unit, or room for less than thirty (30) days, the Oakland Planning Code defines the activity as “Transient Habitation” (or essentially a hotel).

Now you have to start doing live in flips in luxury areas to accommodate for your taste! 

“And SB 13, which we strongly supported, is a vital and complementary piece of legislation that, combined with the others, represent a win-win for homeowners, renters, and cities everywhere that are struggling to accommodate more homes.

I think your time is better spent focusing on making your accommodation and profile and listing and pictures and guest experience the best.

I allowed them stay in my house providing free food and accommodation for a month from November 1-December 8.

So I just received this message from a title company on some land that I will be purchasing with a title company (chosen by the seller to make them feel more comfortable) in a few days:"Just to let you know, we do not search or insure mineral rights.We can add verbiage to the deed-as an accommodation only."
